Shocked by Hank’s sudden demise, Audrey doesn’t know if her strongest emotion is anger, guilt, grief or shame.

By late 1951, it looks as if Hank and Audrey’s second divorce is going to stick. They have run the gamut of fights and separations, fame, wealth and the birth of a son, alcoholism and infidelity. Hank can’t live with her, but he knows he can’t live long without her.

How did a kid, born into poverty and dropping out of school by 10th grade, become the “Hillbilly Shakespeare” who wrote the most lucrative catalogue of songs in the genre to date?

After years of prolific song-writing, recording, touring and a series of popular radio shows, Hank hits the big time with a #1 single and a legendary debut appearance on the Grand Ol’ Opry.

Long after the stars go out, they continue to light up the sky.

Fired from the Opry for missing shows and suffering with excruciating back pain from a failed surgery, Hank embarks on his final road trip in a winter storm that blankets the South. Charles Carr, a first-year student at Auburn, is hired to drive the Olympic blue Cadillac convertible.

Hank fell for Audrey at first sight at 19. She became the love of his life, the bane of his existence and their tumultuous marriage was the fodder for many of his most enduring songs.
